we look at the race to reach survivors of typhoon roy. in the philippines. hundreds of people have been killed and half a 1000000 driven from their homes. ah, irish remedy. welcome to deed up the news asia. glad you could join us. members of the organization of his stomach corporation or oh, i see will fund humanitarian aid in afghanistan through a trust at the stomach development bank. the move agreed to in islam above, over the weekend seeks to answer a fundamental question. many countries are facing. with sending financial aid to have gone is done. how does one send money into the country without appearing to legitimize the dollar bond, or was still inadvertently funding it? the dilemma isn't lost on the militants either who believe they are being wronged. here's, it's acting foreign minister on the issue of thought bonds,

digital music across the world. it is accepted that if a government has people and if it has a power over its people and if they can maintain security for their people, then this government has the right to be officially recognized your home at the moment because our government is not recognized. this is an act of oppression i and that prevents countries from directly sending money to have gone is done. but there have been calls to release the countries overseas assets i've gone with on central bank has around $9000000000.00 and reserves, mostly parked in the united states. but they've been frozen since the balaban takeover and washington shows no signs of budging. for now, they have gone on reconstruction trust fund, which is administered by the world bank has agreed to unfreeze $280000000.00 for humanitarian efforts. 180000000, go to the world food program and

a 100000000 to unicef. i getting money to organizations that unicef is one thing using it to deliver it to people is another, as we report enough longest on to day aid, the delivery is its own mammoth challenge. the only road leading into this remote area along the border to pakistan has been partially destroyed by mines. we're driving to an area where the afghani army and the taliban fought for decades . the people who live in this village were caught between the 2 sides. now they suffer from extreme poverty. women and children have been especially hard hit by the situation midwives sent by unicef are trying to help the desperate mothers who am i need medicine. but the streets are blocked her and there has been a drought for years. there has been no rain. our children are suffering before. i

hope they give us something. i need food for my 2 grandchildren. they are sick and don't have enough to eat. we have a better for the taliban used to shoot at the 8 workers. but now the women are allowed to enter the village. how you most of these a hawaii has to bring more medicine here because every day more patients come did get us a leverage is more, so we're having problems getting supplies. but i thought of the at the time, the problem or had come with be deco law coming out of the fact that women speak openly with us. anger's, the taliban. i said why, i'm 1st love of them on our women must cover their faces. let's do that. papa did that duty was, they push us back up and we have to stop filming only after we are joined by the unicef communications team and their accompanying taliban. does the situation calm down? they drive with us to the next village. it went to think this woman is

pregnant. the mobile units have health team examines her. the next hospital is 2 hours away. her children are malnourished. a woman wants to show us how she lives and invites us into her house. her family has many children and little space, no heating and nearly nothing to eat. but this is what i will cook to day. i will give it to the little ones so they can have something warm to eat. it's a small bowl of corn meal. that's all we have. oh, i can do more and more people crowd around the unicef aid. we're personally they don't have enough of anything including food the needs are so immense. and because we're not only providing basic humanitarian assistance, we are also having to support a system from collapse the taliban riding with the unicef workers are heavily armed

. they repeatedly make it clear that in afghanistan, the un organization can only help people in need if they allow it. and john me now for more from istanbul, is john list ali la tv ali. what are people in the promised on telling you how bad is the humanitarian situation on the ground? the situation is really bad because what's happening is that price is of basic stable unit staples, we're talking, you know, rice, cooking oil, things like that. continue to go up. people still don't have proper, you know, settled, incomes that they can rely on. and obviously the foreign aid isn't coming in the way that it needs to. a lot of what's happening right now is a lot of it is being promised, but isn't able to be distributed to the people either because of logistical reasons or pretty soon they will be issues with the winter where a lot of the country special, the most impoverished parts of the country will become increasingly cut off,

so it's very important that before all of the snow and all of the rain hits that the actual humanitarian aid reaches the most remote parts of the country. you know, those were the parts of the country that even under the former republic didn't get much assistance, didn't get much aid, didn't get much money. and now, you know, they're suffering even more and getting to them is going to be even more difficult . but let's talk a bit about this distribution process. i mean, particularly when it comes to the taliban and the tennessee that they control, other tolerable helping or hindering agencies trying to reach the people who need help. it really depends on where you're talking about. you know, there are provinces and there are, for instance, couple months ago people were talking about and my don't, why lack province when they were trying to distribute who managed terry and aid where the current governor of the province was saying, actually all that money and all that needs to come to me and then i will decide how

it spread, how it's distributed. and that's a very dangerous thing because you know, this had happened in the past as well during the republic where you would have officials where you would have police, where you would have, you know, the sort of self appointed and a lot of ways, hawkins. the leaders of an area thing, i will be the one to distribute the aid. and what happens then is you don't know if it's really getting to the most vulnerable orifice is getting to the people closest to the people. this was notorious and ibp camps at the time. and this is something that people are worried about that if the taller bond take too much influence too much power over this process, that they will do that, you know, that they will essentially repeat this current process. now the taller boss have in the past, they have tried to distribute aid in terms of food aid in terms of money, in terms of back wages across several provinces. but of course, they don't have the funding and the capability to do it on a large scale as it could have been done previously. so it's really important that

the u. n. u. other agencies find ways to either work with the taller bond or have the taller bond allow them to work and really distribute the things in a systematic manner. because as i said earlier, as much as you know, the winter advances, the more difficult it becomes to reach a lot of areas of the country. a major concern among countries has been attending a to have gone on either legit promises or partly funded the taliban? do you think these sounds are legitimate? well i mean inter legitimizing the taller bond. these countries are meeting with a taller one. you know, the, you had sent representatives, germany has some representatives, the u. k, the us, you know, they, they flown to door to meet with them. so this is part of the question is if you're meeting with them and you're talking with them, how would you know, is that not one step towards ledger migration, if not actual, legitimize ation. if you are, whether you call them the de facto, you know,

foreign minister or the defect or whatever minister, you're still sitting with them and talking with them, right? so there's that. and then in terms of ok, if the money goes to the taliban government, i think then it becomes even more important for these countries to have some kind of engagement in some kind of oversights. if they listen, this is our money, and we want to be sure that it's actually distributed to the people and need this is something that they couldn't really do with the former government. you know, they kept whenever they were these different aid conferences and things like that. they kept trying to put boundaries, limitations, say that, you know, you have to curb corruption by this amount. those benchmarks are never really hit. so now it's important for them through not only do something like that, but to try and see if they can implemented this time. we live there for the time being, but thank you so much for joining us today. in the tv, the troops in the philippines have been racing to deliver aid to regions devastated by super typhoon ry. at least 375 people have been killed and

hundreds more injured. after the massive storm hits last week, half a 1000000 people have been forced from their homes. the red cross has already launched an emergency bill. many survivors are desperate. i am hungry, have mercy. that's what's written on this man's shine as he tries to flag down help surrounding him. a fallen power lines, a mangled mass in the carnage. survivors of super typhoon rye have been left and begging for food and water. huh. oh, but what is the liam for bud? what is really important during this situation is water and food. the people are under stress and they need water. well, oh, they are so thirsty, loanable,

begun. oh no, i hope we can fix the supply. lemme then it will pull you. in a moment the president rodrigo do tirty has promised about 36000000 euros in funds to help with the recovery from sambal mclaughlin. but reaching the people who need help is no easy feat. many areas are still struggling with down communication lines, power outages and blocked roads. the anger and desperation a palpable people here feel abandoned because the linen guy, well they should've at least given us one fire truck for water that but there is none. none right now. no one showed up, i don't know where the politicians and election candidates are double in the. let's see what happens when election time comes around. when they come here next, they'll see that they'll be hurt by what the people here will say,

except that lemma bonus himself had been on what ball. so brussel at the monotony. wonderful. the red cross has appealed to the international community for 19000000 years to help victims of the disaster. but with scientists warning that climate change is making typhoons like this deadlier, that amount of money may just be a drop in the ocean. that's it for today. there's of course more on our website, the w dot com, forward slash asia as ever you can follow us on twitter and facebook. we'll see you here tomorrow. ah, ah, the fight against the corolla virus pandemic? how has the rate of infection been developing? what does the latest research say? information and context? the corona virus update, the coded 19 special next on

w ah, the landscape, a reflection of a turbulent history. the cities, the mosaic of different people and languages. the ron's mountains revealed unparalleled beauty. ah, a special look at a special country loan from above. starts december 27th on d. w. ah, welcome to your cobra 19 special. i'm chelsea delaney in berlin. travel restrictions are tightening once again in europe. last week, germany classified all neighboring nations as high risk, while france band, all tourist and business travelers from the u. k. this,

as the british government says it's facing a tidal wave of new infections fuel by omar crohn. the new k recorded a leap of 72 percent and the number of daily cases compared to the week before at over 82000 cases per day. it's more than any time during the pandemic. g, w correspondent, charlotte charleston toll reports from london. ah, mister cheer on the streets of london once again bringing holly thompson, hospitality may will be open. christmas party still allowed to go ahead as planned but cove it is costing its dark shadow as the days ahead. is experts warm, the omicron tidal wave is coming and it's coming at a phenomenal pace. what we know is that it reproduces very, very fast. um, a week ago us also, we said it reproduces every $23.00 days or 3 times a week. i'm putting it very simply, that means in one week you get 8 times as many sections 2 weeks,

64 times as many weeks, 512 times as many says coming at us like an express train. you kay's already recording record cove, it cases with on the chrome. now the dominant variance here in london resisting calls from some for further restrictions. the government's focusing instead on its booster campaign, resulting in lengthy queues at vaccine sites across the country. obviously though, micron is growing so rapidly london and we just wanted to get in as quickly as possible. so many people i thought of getting over it again from last week out of the office policy 1416 them ga cove. it clearly omicron is really spreading quickly . it's very relevant or very important for me to concur today for in 5 hours. not that i want to make an issue of it, but i live with my mother and father who of, in their ages. i want to ideally get it done full. i went to go and see relatives and people over christmas. i can't feel my toes though,

but it's okay. it's okay. the government's throwing the doors open to every adult in england to get boosted by the end of the year. they're hoping to offer up to a 1000000 jobs a day is early data suggests the 3rd vaccine is key to combating on the crop. this is a massive undertaking for the health service they're being asked for another major, maxine push to try and vent hospitals like this one from being overwhelmed with our concerns. it won't be enough. as people here lie, not for that boosters. there are already people in hospital with alma chron, hospitalizations are climbing, and one person's confirmed to have died with alma chron. while it's not yet clear how severe the variant is, the sheer number of cases alone could prove overwhelming. in the shadow of this vaccine center, a reminder of what's at stake, a memorial wall commemorating the 10s of thousands of lives lost to cove it. and it's with the pain and sacrifice of the past. that this weary nation is now facing

the threat of another worrying winter to come more for more on the situation in the u. k. let's talk to julian tang a clinical ver ologist at the university of leicester julian. i thank you for joining us. the situation in the u. k is already bad, but recent models from the london school of hygiene and tropical medicine indicate it's about to get a lot worse. therefore, casting between $2575000.00 from overcome by the end of april. what will the coming month look like for the u. k? yes, of some questions about those models and they have been wrong before overestimating north. that's in cases that one of the key things about the model is that they're trying to model the severity of illness from, from neutralization studies dark in the lab as well. we know from previous attempts that so most of illness is very hard to model. and that way that i suspect that the number infections may be close to the mark with the impossible stations maybe less

than the model predicts that in the most pessimistic scenario, even in the most optimistic scenario, where maybe not as many hospitalization. so just to wait and see, and those we know that she's our responses are also very important in keeping people as a hospital and have more severe disease and teeth responses and not really correlated in the model of the many focused antibody utilization. that results, but no matter what way you really look at this, the u. k, the rest of the world is facing more cases. more hospitalizations. is that avoidable and the u. k. lois difficult as they've left it very long was you stop see the peak of these cases now. she's erma crohn. the if it is actually the horses bolted. so even though you impose restrictions, now, there are a lot of viruses to lot people out there who are seeing the on con, though very, and across the population, locals daughter hasn't gone away either. that the restrictions will reduce both the

variance, answers of infections and death and hospitalization and death hopefully. but now it's very late on to do this with christmas new year already upon us. this as low as asians now will have increased even as we speak. you know, even behind closed doors, we've seen in recent days that countries like the netherlands returning to lock down. do you think leisure is? that's director a potential lockdown are coming in the u. k. social a purely various point of view. i think that's probably what's needed if they wanted to achieve that goal of actually reducing was fro, omicron, and not just for 2 weeks. as some of said already, i think for at least 4 to 6 weeks, you know how to use that kind of measure to really lockdown the virus. but then of course, if the concert hoslard hotly hospitality industry and economy in a, in a wider sense, sort of social psychological well sir. so i can be really hard to struggle balance between that, those 2 extremes. one of the challenges here seems to be that we don't

know a lot about america right now. there's still a lot of unanswered questions about how deadly it is. and how can governments, including the government in the u. k. draft health policies. when our understanding of this very, in a still quite limited. so this, the issue of the cautionary approach in effect control. if you're not sure about how severe the virus is, how fast it spreads. you put in place measures that will cover those eventualities, even at the most pessimistic level. now, of course, that has a knock in effect for him education as society and economy. but if you poorly look and control the virus or some of the sockets, asian cultures have done very well as, as a kind of restriction of measures that you need to impose early on. and then you can reap the benefits of that later on. that when you open up was a viruses down to, you know, originally 0 when them over the u. k. and other european countries, the and it was just far too high for that. so what you're looking for as a mitigation that of the peak and hopefully something we can live with, as well as,

you know, not overwhelming the local how services you mentioned there, that net effective measures they've seen in, in south either asian countries. what exactly did you mean by lacking elaborate a bit on what those have been here? so rather than getting the panoramic when they weren't sure about the viruses, well you have the original hands tray. they went to universal masking and forced isolation crime scene of effects and contacts. there will be had security tags on, on risk ankles and mobile phone apps to track. they've been what he broke, those isolation, quarantine orders that even in france they had to that they made, it won't stay at home and they need a written permission slip. so to leave the house for essential business that, that kind of measure, i did actually work very well to stem the tide of carrot in the 1st wave. and i was more people vaccinated and hung had left in unity than the risk of severe disease. and death is much less at moments. but if you want to reduce that risk of over one of the health care service,

because they're dealing with the things that in the winter winter months that the you may need some kind of locked down, or at least something similar to restrict those numbers. that even further that given that already 80000. now. so julian taking the long view here many in europe had really hope this christmas would be different than the last. it doesn't appear that that's going to be happening. do you see a risk of this pattern? every winter, just repeating itself and from now on. those are list put a lot to listing. so my colleagues, i think this versus no doubt into the human population. the number of spite person mutations, though rapid spread with less severity, from data coming out to south africa and also so early they to know from hong kong and also chambers suggest the vice replicate specially meet the payroll and lower spirit. you track. i think these are all changes i'd expect to see for a virus better adapt whose human population the host over the next few years. i think what you gonna see is an, a mazda mazda full device on my spread more rapidly. but for which most people may

not need vaccination. and that is julian tang, a clinical neurologist at the university of lester. thanks so much for analysis. you now it's your turn. here's of your question for our science correspondent derek williams. oh, my husband was vaccinated then 2 weeks later tested positive for covered 19 could that be due to the vaccine? oh no, but depending on what kind of testy took for different reasons, there are basically 2 different types of diagnostics. the most accurate is called a polymerase chain reaction or a pcr test. now, it works my amplifying tiny amounts of sars, covey, two's genetic material in a sample, up to levels where it can be detected exactly why vaccines can't cause a positive pcr result is complicated scientifically. but more or less comes down to

the fact that most of the currently approved vaccines don't use a full version of the real virus to kick start an immune response. they instead contain short stretches of genetic material that, that don't replicate that the grade fast and cells and that aren't detected or amplified by pcr. the 2nd class of detection diagnostics called androgen tests, they work by revealing the presence of certain proteins that are specific to sars covey to they're cheaper and faster, but also less accurate than p c r. because some vaccines cause your body to produce the corona, virus spike protein to, to kick, start your immune response to the pathogen. it doesn't seem impossible that an antigen test which detects proteins, might be confused by that. however,

to avoid any confusion, most commercial antigen tests are not designed to detect spike protein, but other corona virus pro, am in addition, vaccines are injected into the arm, but detection tests, they swab the nose or the throat, the cells, there are not the ones producing spike proteins after vaccination, so long and short vaccines don't cause coven 19 tests to turn up positive on the presence of the virus? does. thanks for watching. ah, ah, ah! with

who and then for sky. i'm the still with an important document, was drafted in this very sweet edition. was found dead in room

christmas. new year's eve celebrations now unlikely. and there says armor crime becomes the dominant strain of the corona virus in the united states. the new variance now accounting for 3 quarters of new infections. washington plans a massive boost to its free testing program. and under surveillance, the polish doctors will soon be required to report every single pregnancy to authorities. poland has one of the strictest abortion laws in europe. we're from women scared of getting medical help. ah, layla. hi, thank you so much for joining us and we start, we're breaking developments just moments ago. german chancellor, all our channels outlined new restrictions to prevent an expected,

massive jump in infections from the army. kron variant of the corona virus following a virtual meeting with the heads of german states. chance are short said that private gatherings are people who are fully vaccinated would have to be limited to 10 people. the new measures are due to come into force after christmas eve. the complete lock down for the unvaccinated will continue germany is public health agency had earlier called for quote, maximum contact restrictions to be introduced immediately. let's go straight to political correspondence. simon young in berlin, simon, you just listened in what jumped out at you while the chancellor has said that he understands that people have frustrated the many of many people in germany as elsewhere, though, really want to hear anything more about corona restrictions. he said, and he tried to bring a little ray of hope if you like,

by saying the measures that are already in place, having germany have been successful. he said and pointed out that infection infections are actually falling at the moment. but he said, of course, on chrome presents a new concern, it's very dangerous. it's spreading very quickly. and for that reason, their response is needed not to over christmas, he thinks, but from the 28th of december, particularly to avoid parties and gatherings over new year, which 10 some in some places, at least to get quite rowdy in germany. so they're worried particularly there that the new year festivities could help to spread on crohn. and he said it's really important now that people bay the restrictions and behave responsibly. but it is, of course, very striking. christmas is huge in this country know to county measures before christmas national holiday, despite the advice of experts. why not?

well, our shoulds are said the to the understanding that they have is that in fact a christmas like easter doesn't tend to be a really serious type of for inspection. spreading holiday. people tend to stay at home, they think, and not to have too many contacts outside the home. well, you know, of course, different people behave in different ways. not everybody is focused on christmas at all. of course, there are many non christians and people from other parts of the world living in germany. so ah, you will have to see if that to is born out. but so the government thinks that for the moment, you know, they could leave things as they are and, and bring in new restrictions from a week or a week to day. was also really interesting during when he was there, when the chancellor was outlining at his, his hour, his plan. they're betting everything on on vaccines. was that the main and that the

main element, that guy, the guys this government's approach in the coming weeks? well, i think they are guided by all the science, but they are also guided by the desire to avoid large scale locked downs. they've said that again and again, they need to keep a social life business life going in some way. they also need to protect the health care system. it's a balancing act, and yes, you're right. they said they're going to press on with the vaccination campaign over the holiday period as well. and indeed into january. or they say they'll achieve $30000000.00 vaccination doses by the end of this month. they want to do another 30000000 in january. so really pressing forward ahead there, they say they do believe that vaccination is one of the important ways to to, to meet and deal with amazon. in conclusion, simon, the chancellor went out of his way to acknowledge that people are cove, it weary. do you think that will go some way to sewage, some of well,

the pain of these restrictions? well, of course politicians have to listen to you are to what people are concerned about . and there are lots of people opposed to more restrictions. we've seen severe, violent, partly demonstrations, again over the weekend by people who probably take a pretty extreme line in their opposition to a covey restrictions. but many others feel uncomfortable about being told what to do in this kind of way by the government. but i would say my impression is over all, many people will say, well this is, this is necessary and you will see if it works, then we're, we're ready to support this kind of measure salmon young reporting. thank you very much for meanwhile, in the united states army crown has now become the dominant variant. it accounts for 73 percent of all infectious. just a week ago,

the number was 12 percent. the white house is planning to distribute millions of free rapid tests in new york virus cases are surging. just as the holiday season gets under way. 5. 03. 0, one happy new year. this is just a test. new year's eve in times square has not come early by the on the chron wave has hit the u. s. sooner than many experts expected. nearby and new yorkers lie enough to get tested with christmas just days away and cases surging. many are worried. that definitely feels like that 1st wave of the pandemic without anxiety, all these long lines around the city, people getting tested on exams are getting cancelled for people in grad school like myself. so that kind of feels like that early part of that didn't. we didn't really know what's happening. i think we've all been affected as a new yorker, we're trying to take every single precaution that we can. um got dull vax boosted

regular testing. i am planning to charge for the holidays, but depending on the result of this test, i'll probably say, put in your back america's top. pandemic advisor anthony found she though, had a hopeful message for those. worried about the holidays in you can go the extra mile and get tested before you have a family gathering or a group get test the day before or the day of getting together, but vaccinated and boosted people. one of the family members of accident should feel very comfortable in getting together and enjoying a holiday meal or a holiday get together. i president joe biden plans to address the rapid rise in corona virus case as later on tuesday. but he's already made it clear with some of the blame lies for those who choose to remain and vaccinated. he'll issue a stark warning and make clear and vaccinate individuals will continue to drive hospitalizations and deaths. that is not trying to scare people or maybe it is

trying to make clear to people in the country what the risks are here of not being vaccinated. despite the worsening situation in times square, some people was still in a festive mood bath. this might be the last time new york as see these lights in person. the mass still hasn't decided if new year's celebrations here. we'll go ahead and as i now by the other stories in the headlines around the world, the turkish lira rebounded after present rich of type err tuan la launched a series of policies to prop up the ailing national currency. the government has promised to compensate lira denominated bank account holders for drops in the value of the currency, which is seen drastic losses in recent weeks. the philippines is still reeling from the aftermath of last week's powerful typhoon. local officials are pleading for 8 japan and china, and now they would send power generators, water, and food. i from ry killed almost 400 people and displaced hundreds of thousands

in ethiopia, the to grey people's liberation front has announced it will withdraw from several regions. it captured in recent months, saying the move is a step to word piece with european government dismissed the announcement saying it is a cover up for recent military setbacks as a $1007.00 killed and fighting over the past year. acknowledge malaysia's prime minister is my al sabah yackel has admitted that the official response to recent flooding has been too slow. the government faced criticism after at least 14 people died during torrential rains last weekend as killers are still bringing people from flooded areas to safety. as of thousands are now living in emergency shelters. poland has a near total ban on abortions while now the government wants to go a step further by creating a national register of all pregnancies did abuse on of anom and reports on

a controversial issue that often pits individual women against hospitals and even the police. claudia, coastal 26 years old entrepreneur. earlier this year she decided to and an unwanted pregnancy, using abortion pills. she ordered on the internet for one looked with ela. i went to a hospital just to confirm that i am not pregnant anymore. all tell us, but once they are, i was brutally examined, though on the doctor didn't providing any medical information. instead, she scared me saying the state prosecutor needed to know that she would report me to the authorities about those wall. she, jonathan washing despite poland, sneered total ban on abortion, women who terminate pregnancies cannot be prosecuted under polish law. that however, didn't prevent the police from interrogating her. a. claudia coast oak tells me, oh sam. okay, says look what we asked and they wanted to know how the pills were delivered out
